He's a dishonest SOB. Obama inherited a horrible economic mess, mostly caused by Bush's war, and irresponsible "Don't tax, but spend" Republicans. And his hands were tied by a budget deficit that is off the charts. No matter what he did, there was risk. In any event, he didn't cause the market to drop, and Romney knows it. Look at his record, he is a political opportunist with no principles.

Hey you dopey libs, the dow jones industrial average, was at 8500-9500 during Dec 08
and Jan 09. After Obama nonsense with tinkering the Government into every aspect of the private sector, has not only nose dived the markets, but has made them STAGNENT..

The USA is a capitalist society, the last 200+ years.

Unbelievable. Looking at Google Finance today, the Dow is up 4.7% since Obama took office, and looking at it over Bush's term (from 1/20/01-1/20/09) it fell 24.95%. The Republicans are trying to find a new image for themselves, its not looking like whatever they will settle on will include not lying to the American people.

Since the stock market is now up 7.6% since President Obama took office, (the tech-heavy NASDAQ is up 17.6%), do you suppose Mitt will be giving any credit to the President or his policies?

Nah!!!

Hey Romney.

I'll take "just" a 10% drop any day, compared to what Bush gave us last year!!

Mitt is wasted in the World of politics.
The man's a natural game show host or used car salesman.

Between its high in May of 2008 and the end of Bush's presidency the market dropped almost 40%.
